some fun events

cool layout

nice for versus

old design (updates?)

incoherent events

not much custom content

impossible on expert realism

in a word : outdated

- Great detail
- Perfectly laid out
- Expert use of rock falls for a stunning map
- Challenging
- Fair amount of medkits, defibs, weapons and throwables
- Wide array of stage tactics
- Lots of horde moments with cool ideas

- First map is too short
- Storm continues too long and is very stressful
- Capitalization could be better
- Too many hordes
- Bots easily fall off some cliffs
- WAY TOO MUCH WATER TO SLOW YOU DOWN. I literally wanted to toss my keyboard across the room with the amount of liquid spread along the levels.
- Some places could use some detail
- The ending was rubbish. You basically flipped off almost every person thats played your entire campaign with Slow water, dozens of tanks. And bad finale set-up. Thanks alot.

Your level went like a building constructing itself up. And then it knocked itself down when it was close to finishing off.
I suggest people to play the first few levels EXCEPT the last one. Because its rage in a nutshell.

• Great Level of Detail and Design
• First 2 Maps felt a bit like Dead Island [Not sure why]
• Fairly Good Events
• Unexpected Situations
• Decent Map Layout
• Map 4 has a good survival horror atmosphere
• Decent Finale Standoff

• Very Frustrating Finale [Annoying Water]
• Each map feels tedious later on

Each map felt a little boring after advancing further and upon bumping into a fun situation it gets boring after it ends. Finale was just painfully annoying since the water proves to be a lot of hassle when the rescue vehicle arrives.

Liked the campaign very much since it feels different and has incredibly fun events, probably the reasons why it has a fairly good replay-ability [Even if it gets a little annoying].

Screenshots look nice
An okay concept

Missing textures
Bots get stuck in some maps
Very basic lighting
Poor prop placement (I guess that's a plane crash?)
Insta-kill traps
Confusing layouts

I've written reviews for this campaign before and they generally end up being removed from the site for some reason, but for posterity I'll say it all again: I'm at a loss as to why this campaign is so highly rated. An amateur effort from start to finish, 2 Evil Eyes is not a campaign that I like, which is putting it politely.

You want challenge? 2 Evil Eyes has challenge for you, with traps that require trial-and-error memorization. Don't know about the trap? Too bad, you're instantly incapped and maybe even killed, all because you decided to check a cabin and didn't know about the comical, Indiana-Jones-style rolling boulder that would come barreling through the structure the moment you stepped inside. In a game where a single incap can mean the difference between winning or restarting the map from the safe room, this kind of "oops now you're dead before you even realized what happened" map design is ill-conceived and frustrating. There's no challenge or skill to it, just simple memorization, something that goes against the entire design philosophy of Left4Dead.

Venture further in to the campaign and expect to witness missing textures (including one whole entire map with a pink checkerboard sky), simplistic lighting, and generally unclear level design. I spent nearly ten minutes running around in circles in an area near the end of the campaign because in order to progress I had to find a tiny, unassuming walkie talkie out in the middle of a giant, basically empty parking lot. It was so small and so out in the middle of nowhere that I must've walked past it several times without even noticing it was there. To make matters worse, Ellis got stuck on the corner of the very same map earlier on and wouldn't catch up to the rest of the team no matter how far away I got.

I picked up this campaign because Valve recommended it on the official Left4Dead 2 blog, and I came away not just underwhelmed, but legitimately frustrated and bewildered. You could certainly do worse, but you could also do a way, way, WAY better, too. Ugh.

Decent campaign full of detail and original ideas

The Storms
Loved the Intro speech
Great to play with friends
Creative to the max

The Bots (not the authors fault)
Bots Falling off ledges that have ladders and general stupid stuff
The Hordes.
Specials Spawning Before Events

Now i Realy loved this map, The Hordes of zombies made Me brake my mouse with Anger, whenever i tried to shove a zombie off me or cut one into pieces it felt like i was being surrounded by millions as you killed one and more Just joined on the fun. the bots made me Face palm so many times. But Overall this map is a real challenge something rare that you dont see in much maps that i have played.

I have to agree with another review that I read:
The first couple maps are really good.
The design is creative.
The maps are difficult but not impossible nor boring.
Well thought out.

The second to last mast was all storms, which I don't really like, but that is personal preference.

Two BIG cons:
1) It felt like I spent a lot of time with 1 zombie on my back. As soon as I killed it, another one would come out of nowhere. My whole team felt like this.
2) The finale was way to hard. We usually play on advanced and barely beat it on normal. Complete lack of pills/shots. Two tanks with water everywhere. Plus special infected and hoards while the tanks were chasing us.

Beginning maps are fun but the finale sort of ruins it. It is more than impossibly difficult, it is annoying and not fun.

If the finale were changed it would probably be an 8 or 9.

First four maps are nicely designed and just about right challenge wise
Avoids the unbelievably boring going round in a circle map design so many others have decided upon

No ammo in safe rooms, and there's not always one variety of rifle, sniper and shotgun to make up for it
No tier 1 weapons at the start of the first map (always a bad sign, the exception is The Passing, where they're in the first room after the intro)
All begins to go downhill on map 5 - goes from being challenging on expert to downright ridiculous - an event and then a gauntlet at the end with no kits or even a reasonable amount of pills/adrenaline makes it all but impossible
Finale is even worse - SI continuously spawn before you activate it, there is absolutely nowhere even remotely safe, and then the classic - 2 tanks on the second wave - just how do you expect people to be able to evade 2 tanks at the same time when there's water slowing you down everywhere? Oh, and there's uncommon infected during the finale as well, just to put the icing on the cake

The first four maps are great, slightly derivative in places but perfectly fine considering the game's limitations. After that, the difficulty level just goes off the scale. And it's not just on expert - the finale is difficult enough on normal when you're playing on your own. Ruins what would be one of the best custom campaigns, alongside Suicide Blitz and Death Aboard.

+ nice setting
+ challenging
+ most of the times just about right amount of hordes and specials
+ the train surprised me :)
+ the cave surprised us :D
+ storms - the cemetery was very intense
+ boat ride idea

- first map "ubershort"
- boat ride execution - a bit bigger boat would be nice, and then it could be longer.
- zombies/specials spawning before starting the finale (after so much fighting we deserve a little bit of a break) but it was not overwhelming luckily.

I played this with my buddies today for the first time (on advanced) and I must say we enjoyed this a lot. The intensity gradually increased. The cemetery with the storms and tons of hordes was the most intense map. The boat ride was an interesting idea and was a nice surprise ( I guess I am easily surprised :D ). But if the boat would be bigger it would be better for our fat asses so we don't shove each other off of it :) and in that case the trip could have been longer.

I am not decided about where to put the no ammo in safehouse thing. I understand you're probably trying to make us switch weapanz but once I have the AK47 I am not letting it go even though I have no ammo for it, unless there is a tank or two
